fish line... hair dryer.... and your thumb and u should be able to get it all off...
the cobalt badge should come off with some heat and pull it off. the trim you need to heat up and run fish line behind it and work all the way down then use the dryer to heat up whats left behind and roll it off with ur thumb. if theres glue residue left behind then just use the goo gone to take that off and make sure to wash your car afterwards cause goo gone will play havok on your clear coat if it has a chance to sit on the finish and bake in

Let me guess,
You don't need no education either. Right?
OP- I left my Chevy Badge on. But I'm going to get rid of it soon.
I removed the Cobalt Ls badging with dental floss in 39 degree temps.
Edit: BRB I'm going to attempt to remove the Chevy Emblem with dental floss right now.

"The best and only way to completely remove this type of glue, is with cooking oil, a hairdryer and a plastic card , or baker's plastic dough cutter.
Firstly apply generous amounts of cooking oil to the offending glue area with a cloth, then heat with the hairdryer for about twenty seconds or so, the portion you want to remove first , and using the plastic card work downward to remove the glue, repeat if necessary."

Man this sucks I bought the clay bar and that did **** $30 down the drain. i took the other side trim off the car today and there was no glue left behind it was perfect><. I tried goo gone and that clay **** what else should i do? take it to a paint shop and get it buffed and repainted?
